Coronado Elementary Third Graders Host First-Ever Holiday Shop

Posted on 01/25/2018

Coronado Elementary third-graders were thrilled to be able to offer the school's first-ever Holiday Shop this year as part of their social studies unit, People are Connected in the Economic Marketplace! Students developed a business plan that included product development, packaging, profit margin, and marketing. They sold homemade products to classmates, staff, parents, and community members prior to winter break. All funds raised will go toward building a Buddy Bench for the playground as well as class-determined donations to kiva.org in order to fund start-up businesses around the world. This authentic learning opportunity allowed students to reflect and refine understandings gained from their previous economics unit and student-led Market Day in second grade.
